AmplifyME sharpened my technical and analytical skills with real-time market simulations combined with hands-on financial modelling tasks. I got a chance to step into the role of a hedge fund portfolio manager and an investment banker analyst, with the pressure and high decision-making they face.

The trading simulations were so realistic — adjusting quotes in real time was a first for me. I’d always assumed I’d go into investment banking, but that experience made me realise I’m far more excited by the fast-paced, dynamic nature of the markets.

BSc Economics & Computer Science | Global Markets Summer Analyst

AmplifyME’s training gave me the financial knowledge and confidence I needed to stand out and make an impact during my Morgan Stanley internship. The simulations in particular helped me grasp complex concepts quickly and apply them directly in my role.

BSc Mathematics & Computer Science | Technology Analyst

The biggest contrast between university learning and AmplifyME’s training was the practical, real-time decision-making aspect. By the time I interviewed at Citi, I was no longer a student but someone who had experienced the realities first hand.

Coming from engineering, AmplifyME gave me the direction, confidence, and access I needed to break into trading. The HPC referral to Dare opened the door, the preparation helped me walk through it.
